Podcasts about Ignoring

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with the Hormone Heroines, Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, to unpack what women actually need to thrive hormonally from puberty through menopause and beyond. Dr. Serena and Dr. Heidi are award-winning speakers and nationally recognized experts in women's health, with extensive training in longevity medicine, hormonal health, peptides, and BHRT. Their passion lies in helping women address root causes, not just symptoms, using a holistic functional medicine approach so they can feel strong, energized, and supported at every stage of life. This episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to build strength, protect her hormones, and age with power instead of burnout. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Muscle Is Medicine—Especially for Women Muscle isn't just about strength or metabolism—it's a hormone-regulating, longevity-protecting organ. Lose muscle, and everything from blood sugar to estrogen balance takes a hit. Protein Timing Matters More Than You Think It's not just how much protein you eat—it's how evenly you spread it throughout the day that determines whether your body can actually build and repair muscle. Estrogen Protects More Than Your Bones Estrogen plays a critical role in muscle recovery, injury prevention, and resilience. Ignoring this connection leaves women vulnerable to pain, plateaus, and faster aging. Longevity Isn't a Supplement—It's a Strategy Yes, tools like Urolithin A can support muscle and brain health—but nutrition, stress management, strength training, and the right practitioner are the real foundation for thriving long-term.   Resources From The Show: Dr. Serena and Heidi's website - https://www.blossominglongevity.com/ Dr. Serena and Heidi's Podcast - Hormone Heroines Supplements we talked about: Urolithin A, CoEnzyme Q10 and Creatine Peptides we mentioned: P21 (brain), BPC 157/TB500 (gut health + aches/pains

If you're a mom today, chances are you've asked yourself some version of this question: "Why does my child melt down over the smallest things; and what am I supposed to do in the moment?" You're not alone. Parents are overwhelmed by big emotions, unpredictable reactions, and advice that sounds good in theory but falls apart in real life. Being told to "use your words" in the middle of a meltdown rarely works. Ignoring behavior feels wrong. And consequences without connection often make things worse. What parents are really looking for are strategies that work in kitchens, cars, grocery stores, and bedrooms at bedtime, not just in parenting books. Let's talk about what actually helps children regulate their emotions, why it works, and how you can use it consistently in everyday moments. In today's episode of Equipped To Be Connie covers: How to Regulate Your Emotions, Relate to Your Child, So You Can Redirect Your Child. -->Behavior Is Communication, Not Defiance Before any strategy can help, parents need one stabilizing reframe. -->Big Emotions Are a Signal, Not a Character Flaw Emotional regulation always starts with the parent. -->A Dysregulated Parent Cannot Regulate a Dysregulated Child -->Relate Before You Redirect Connection is what opens the door to cooperation. -->Naming Feelings Helps the Brain Settle -->Redirect with Clear, Simple Expectations When emotions run high, less language is more effective. Tune in for more practical ways to help you learn the best way to redirect your child in the middle of meltdowns and outbursts without losing your cool.

There are four core aspects of business development in auto repair: in-person, email, phone, and social selling. In-person relationships will always matter most, but they only scale so far. Harris Fanaroff, founder and CEO of Linked Revenue, explains that shops lean on email because it is easy, avoid cold calls because they are uncomfortable, and dismiss LinkedIn because it feels difficult to master. That blind spot is costing shops real opportunities to build trust and grow.In this episode of Maximum Octane, Kim Hickey and Jason Patel sit down with Harris Fanaroff to break down what he calls the fourth route to market. Harris explains why LinkedIn works differently from other platforms, why executives and ideal customers already live there, and why most shops completely ignore it. He shares a practical blueprint for using LinkedIn to stay top of mind, attract higher-quality customers, recruit better talent, and build genuine relationships without sending generic messages or relying on automation.The conversation delves into founder-led content, why authenticity matters more than volume, and how consistent thought leadership distinguishes shops that blend in from those that stand out. Harris also explains how to track real ROI from LinkedIn activity, why AI should support your voice instead of replacing it, and how a shop owner can dominate a local market simply by showing up where competitors refuse to spend time.Tune in to episode 136 of Maximum Octane if you are tired of crowded marketing channels and want a smarter way to reach the right customers. Let us help you change how you think about LinkedIn and your role as a shop owner.Episode Takeaways04:50 The four routes to business development and why LinkedIn is the most underused06:30 Why most sales teams over-rely on email and avoid harder but better channels07:20 How consistent LinkedIn content creates long-term separation from competitors08:15 Why your ideal auto repair customers already spend time on LinkedIn10:00 How LinkedIn supports both customer acquisition and technician recruiting11:05 A simple local LinkedIn strategy shop owners can implement immediately12:10 Why connecting with local executives beats mass marketing every time14:30 How LinkedIn replaces old school networking groups at scale17:05 Why founder-led content outperforms generic shop marketing19:10 How Harris creates content without ghostwriting or losing authenticity20:30 The three parts of a LinkedIn system that actually produce ROI22:30 Why tracking real people matters more than vanity metrics25:00 The right way to use AI without sounding fake27:15 Why most shops quit too early and never see results32:15 Why holiday posts do nothing and executive visibility changes everythingConnect with Harris Fanaroff:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramXLet's connect:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookEmail: info@maximumoctane.com Hosted on Acast.

Sigal Samuel, senior reporter for Vox's Future Perfect, talks about why many people in America are able to ignore politics and what our duty as citizens should be under an authoritarian government. 

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon—physician and leading voice in muscle-centric medicine— returns to talk with Gabby Reece about her new book, Forever Strong: The Playbook—a practical, tactical guide to building strength for life. They unpack why the health conversation went sideways into weight-loss obsession, why sarcopenia (loss of muscle and strength) may be the next major epidemic—especially in the era of GLP-1s—and how muscle impacts everything from blood sugar to long-term brain health.They also get into what “neutrality” looks like for high performers, why consistency is less about motivation and more about clarity, and how to simplify protein and training without making it complicated. Plus: recovery, minimum effective dose, intramuscular fat vs. body fat, blood flow restriction training, and why Dr. Lyon keeps her kids off screens.Produced by Dear Media.

From power companies asking people to unplug their EVs during deep freezes ❄️⚡ to explosive claims buried inside Epstein records, Tara connects the dots between media narratives, selective outrage, and political strategy. This episode moves from lighthearted winter chaos to deadly serious allegations—highlighting what gets amplified, what gets ignored, and why misinformation has become a political weapon.

Building a real brand isn't about playing it safe — it's about testing, failing, learning, and trusting your instincts. In this episode of Right About Now, Ryan Alford sits down with Brett Berish, CEO of Sovereign Brands, to unpack how he built global spirits brands like Bumbu, Deacon Whiskey, Bel-Air Rosé, and McQueen Gin by doing the opposite of what the industry expected. Brett explains why he stopped trying to compete with giants like Bacardi or Jack Daniels and instead leaned into authenticity, taste-first product development, and bold packaging. He compares building businesses to comedians refining jokes — constantly reacting to audiences, tweaking the approach, and evolving until something truly lands From navigating America's rigid three-tier alcohol system to building brands in over 80 countries, Brett shares hard-earned lessons about flexibility, leadership, and believing in products before the market catches up. This episode covers: • Why no one believed in Brett's brands at launch • How taste matters more than celebrity endorsements • Why packaging is part of the brand experience • How failure shaped his leadership style • Building teams of self-starters, not followers • Why letting products “breathe” unlocked global growth • Turning personal struggle into purpose If you're building anything — a company, a product, or a personal brand — this conversation offers a masterclass in resilience, creativity, and trusting what makes you different.

Hey Fam! Today I'm talking about a skill that most people skip... and that's a BIG mistake. This is Fonzi BTW hijacking the show

Ignoring the fundamental pillars of life keeps you stuck in tunnel vision.Short-term desires. Trade-offs you think don't matter.But cheap dopamine fries your nervous system. And a fried nervous system cannot connect to real intelligence, nor genius.Einstein, Nobel Prize winners, intelligent humans understand the subtle relationships of consciousness. Everyone has the intelligence within—it's just whether you're ignoring the fundamental pillars. My girlfriend taught me to sleep in. Used to wake at 4am trying to be speedy off the bat. Now 6am. I go slow until I have full clarity, until all the pistons and the motor are churning and feeling right. Clarity precedes speed. Temperature before acceleration.The quote on my wall: "I want never gets." The needy kid screaming "I want this, I want that" doesn't get. You have to position yourself to receive, not want. When you see desires, you live in tunnel vision. When you see principles—treat thy neighbor as thyself, children don't listen they emulate—you zoom out. The unspecialness of you is what makes you special.This episode reveals how identity creates narrow focus on desires, why ignoring structures like temperature and speed prevents alignment, and the difference between seeing desires versus seeing principles. Listen if you're ready to stop frying your system.New episodes out every Monday and Thursday at 10 AM Eastern Time Get The Book - https://go.justinegliskis.com/The Greek God Physique Strategy Session - https://calendly.com/egliskiscapital/greek-god-physique-strategy-callJoin 497+ https://signup.justinegliskis.com/Email egliskis@pm.me to get in contact with meDiscover a podcast designed for entrepreneurs and solopreneurs navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, offering insights on stress management, health and wellness, and overcoming imposter syndrome, while emphasizing work-life balance, energy alignment, and inner peace; explore topics like burnout recovery, business automation, scaling a business, business growth strategies, client management, mental resilience, overcoming anxiety, and achieving clearer thinking for sustainable success, using the blade of awareness, solving emotional dysfunction and unveiling the trickster within.

There is one question underneath almost every message we receive.Is this safe?Is it safe for my child? Is it safe during pregnancy? Is it safe while breastfeeding? Is it safe if I am sick? Is it safe after chemo? Is it safe to keep taking the supplements when my child has an ear infection?My friends, we are asking the wrong question.In this episode, we are going to dive deep into the safety of rebalancing, and just as importantly, the flip side of that conversation, which is what actually happens when we leave bad bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, parasites, heavy metals, and toxins in the body.Most people who find their way here have tried just about everything. You have likely tried every elimination diet, tried so many different supplements, you've spent hours and hours at appointments with different practitioners hoping someone would finally connect the dots, you've been told to wait it out, you've been told it's normal, you've been told that your child will outgrow it or that your symptom will just go away with time, and you've probably been given medications that suppress your or your child's symptoms but don't actually address the root issue. So of course you're skeptical, because when you've tried so many things and nothing has truly worked, it's easy to start losing hope.I know because I was you. I was in your exact place when I was trying so desperately to heal my son. I remember thinking, if it's really as simple as his gut needing to be rebalanced, why didn't one of the seventeen doctors I took him to tell me about this sooner? And underneath that question was a lot of fear.Rebalancing is not about doing something extreme. It is about giving the body the opportunity to finally reset, regulate, and heal instead of continuing to survive around a problem that will not resolve on its own.Healing is not the risk.Ignoring what the body has been asking for is.Thanks for listening!

Amazon and Shopify are NOT the whole market.If you're only selling online, you're competing inside roughly 15% of the total retail opportunity while ignoring a market that's several times larger. In this episode, we break down why that blind spot is costing brands serious revenue and how sellers can expand beyond ecommerce without guessing or blowing up their margins.Talor Ofer, a retail strategist with over 25 years of experience helping physical product brands get placed in major retail channels. In this conversation, Talor breaks down how retail really works behind the scenes and why brands that understand the retail language have a major advantage going into 2026.In this Episode:  ✅ Ecommerce Brands Are Competing in the Smallest Part of the MarketOnline sales feel dominant, but they represent a fraction of total retail. Brands that only sell on Amazon or Shopify are fighting harder for a smaller slice of demand while ignoring a much larger offline opportunity.✅ Retail Isn't Complicated.Most sellers avoid retail because they don't understand buyers, pricing, or expectations. Once you know what buyers want to see and how to present your brand, retail becomes simpler than dealing with ecommerce platforms and algorithms.✅ Not All Retail Channels Are EqualOff-price retailers, retailer dot-coms, and subscription boxes each offer different advantages. Some channels are easier entry points, while others deliver massive volume and exposure when used strategically.✅ 2026 Timing Matters More Than Most Sellers RealizeRetailers are buying aggressively due to tariffs, supply chain pressure, and future price uncertainty. Brands prepared now have an advantage while others wait and miss the window.

Every insurance agent has a graveyard of "dead" leads; prospects you called once, got sent to voicemail, and never touched again. You think they are worthless, but you are actually sitting on a goldmine. The data shows that for every 1,000 old leads gathering dust in your CRM, there is roughly $270,000 in commissions waiting to be claimed.My guest, Michael McMillan, President of Financialize, joins me to prove why you need to stop chasing new leads and start reviving the old ones. In this episode, we break down the "Lead Revival" framework that turns cold data into six-figure revenue. Michael explains why most producers fail at follow-up (laziness), how to balance automation with the necessary "human touch" to wake up dormant prospects, and the specific math behind mining your existing database.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWEpisode 200 matters, not because it's a celebration, but because it exists at all. Most podcasts never make it this far. They stop when the audience is small, when the work outweighs the reward, when life gets complicated and silence becomes easier.This episode exists because I didn't stop. I kept going through frustration, isolation, and long stretches where quitting would've made more sense.This episode is about why I'm still here and why I'm still speaking. It's about refusing to normalize chaos, refusing to pretend this moment in America is business as usual, and refusing to lower my voice just because anger makes people uncomfortable.Two hundred episodes means I'm still paying attention, still calling things what they are, and still unwilling to sit quietly while the country is pushed toward instability.America is in turmoil, and this episode confronts that reality head on. I talk about the warning signs we're being told to ignore, the erosion of accountability, and the dangerous acceptance of force over truth.I address the fear, the exhaustion, and the sense that the guardrails are gone, because pretending otherwise only makes the damage worse.This episode also dives into the growing consequences of unchecked power, both at home and abroad. From domestic operations that raise serious questions to global backlash against American bullying, the pattern is the same.Power without restraint breeds resistance, and denial doesn't stop the fallout. What we're watching isn't random chaos, it's the result of decisions that went unchallenged for too long.I also speak directly to preparation and personal responsibility. Not as panic, not as paranoia, but as common sense in uncertain times.Being ready isn't fear driven, it's reality driven. Ignoring warning signs doesn't make them disappear, and protecting yourself and your family should never be dismissed as overreaction.Episode 200 is a line in the sand. It's a statement that silence isn't an option, disengagement isn't harmless, and this moment demands clarity instead of comfort.I'm still here. I'm still angry. I'm not shutting up. And if you're listening, you're part of this whether you speak or not.If you care, and if you've enjoyed my podcast, I can use your help in several ways:Please Email me and let me know you're there:WolfPackTalks@gmail.comI also talked about the major financial upheaval that my girlfriend and I are going through.If you can, and you would like to help…Support link Herehttps://gofund.me/18cf67fe4AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

This episode is brought to you by LMNT, Audible and Strong Coffee Company. You've probably heard of the trauma responses fight, flight, and freeze — but there's a fourth response that may be shaping your life without you even realizing it: fawning. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Ingrid Clayton, PhD a clinical psychologist, trauma therapist, and author of Fawning, to understand why people-pleasing, over-accommodating, and self-abandonment are not personality flaws — they're intelligent survival responses your nervous system learned to keep you safe. You'll learn how fawning develops when fight, flight, or freeze aren't available — especially in childhood, unequal power dynamics, toxic relationships, and work environments where your safety or stability feels at risk. You'll also discover how living in a chronic fawn response can quietly disconnect you from your needs, your voice, your body, and your sense of self. This conversation helps you recognize why "just setting boundaries" often feels impossible, why you may disappear in relationships, and why choosing yourself can feel terrifying even when you know something needs to change. Most importantly, you'll hear why none of this means something is wrong with you — you make sense. If you've been stuck in survival mode, waiting for permission, approval, or safety outside yourself, this episode will help you understand what's been happening beneath the surface — and how you can begin moving forward by reconnecting with who you truly are.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton address a feeling many first responders quietly wrestle with: the desire for more (Amazon Affiliate) than the badge—and the guilt that often comes with it. You're proud of your service. You respect the role. You've sacrificed a lot to wear the uniform. And yet… there's a pull toward something else—more freedom, more balance, more meaning beyond the job. This episode explores why wanting more doesn't mean you're ungrateful or disloyal—and how ignoring that pull can lead to resentment, burnout, and identity loss.

Introduction: In a church dispute? Remember your Relationship… (1 Corinthians 6:1-11) To OTHER BELIEVERS: we RECONCILE. (1 Cor 6:1-5) 1 Corinthians 5:12 – For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? To THE WORLD: we REPRESENT. (1 Cor 6:6-8) To SIN: we RENOUNCE. (1 Cor 6:9-10) Genesis 2:16–17 – And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Titus 2:11–12 – For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, To JESUS CHRIST: we are RENEWED. (1 Cor 6:11) Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANKHint: Highlight blanks above for answers! AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Well, good morning.Wherever you are today, welcome.My name is Justin.I'm one of the elders here at Harvest.And as we get started, I would just like to ask that you would pray for me to faithfully and clearly communicate God's word,and I will pray for you to have hearts to receive it.Amen.Well, today we're going to be talking about dealing with disputes, disagreements, beef, as the kids say.Did the kids still say beef, Pastor Jeff?Okay, confirmed.I too was young once, but as a college student, one thing my roommates and I never had beef over was where to order pizza.Listen, four guys in an apartment, that's a big decision.But we found our place, Piazza's Pizza, home to the largest pizza that I've ever seen, the big Piazza.It was the best price to food ratio in the city.The box was so big, it didn't even fit through the door.You had to tilt it just to get it inside.It would feed all of us for a whole weekend.And actually one of those weekends, a few of my friends from home came up to visit.And so, of course, we wanted to treat them to a big Piazza.But there was a dispute.My roommates and I tried to explain to them how enormous this pizza was.But my friends kept insisting, "Look, we need to order two."And we're like, "Guys, you haven't seen this pizza."And they're like, "Guys, you don't know how hungry we are. We need at least two."Okay?So eventually we gave up and we ordered two big Piazza's.And, you know, after dinner, I couldn't believe it, but we actually finished half of one.And that's when the real dispute started.Because we tried to tell them we just needed one.But the problem is, according to them, we didn't eat our share.Because they insisted we needed two.So then wild claims started flying around both sides about how many slices each side ate.And this morning, I'd actually like to present you with some evidenceso you can draw your own conclusions.Exhibit A, this is the big Piazza.And even that, I tell you, the photo doesn't do it justice.But I added some analysis to this photo because one member of the oppositionhas repeatedly stated that he alone consumed 25 slices.Exhibit B, this is his claim.And I'm telling you, I was there that night.If he ate that much pizza in one sitting,we were going to spend the night in Rochester General Hospital.Okay?Church.It was crazy.Now, we are close to the 20th anniversary of that meal.And the battle is still raging on.As far as I'm aware, this is the longest-running dispute I've ever been a part of.Debating it step-by-step, recounting what happened.And of course, laughter.Because this dispute, though still being disputed,it didn't threaten our friendships.It's a silly dispute, but I share it with you because the way that we handle disputes,that often depends on our relationship to the other side, true or false.When we are in a dispute, our relationship to the personor our relationship to the situation, that determines our response.Best friends can accuse each other of pizza malpractice for decades and be totally fine.But for real disputes, think about it.Which ones are the hardest to resolve?The ones within a family,or with a close friend, or someone you looked up to.It's far more difficult to deal with offense from someone that you know deeplythan from someone that you don't know at all.An argument that escalates, a disagreement grows into something much more,most of us have been there.And that can even happen here, within the church family.How do we deal with those disputes?Well, if you have your Bibles, you can open them to 1 Corinthians chapter 6,where we're going to dig into that.We deal with disputes because we're going after a church unified and purified, amen.And last week, Pastor Jeff taught how to get purified when there's sin in the church,when someone claims Christ yet is living in unrepentant sin,and they refuse help, they want their sin to be accepted.What do you do with that person?The Bible says, "Let him who has done this be removed from among you."You might think, "Harsh, that doesn't sound like a thing a church should do."Well, if you missed it, read 1 Corinthians chapter 5 and listen to the sermon online.You'll find out that's what the church must do.Now, this week, we read Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,discussing disputes within the church.And just like arguments about pizza,we have to remember the relationships involved.So, on your outline today,in a church dispute, remember your relationship.Number one, to other believers, we reconcile.So, 1 Corinthians 6, are you there?Let's read the first verse.It says, "When one of you has a grievance against another,does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?"So, Paul is calling out the Corinthians for dragging their disputes out into the court system.He says, "Church, why are you going before unrighteous corrupt courts for this?"But please understand in this passage,Paul is talking about civil cases, not criminal cases.This is not about someone breaking the law and being charged with a crime, okay?This is about a private dispute between two parties,and they just can't figure it out.So, they end up taking each other to court over something trivial.Now, we see trivial lawsuits today, don't we?Have you ever seen those courtroom shows where they give you the rundown upfront?He's here suing for a $67 cell phone bill.You hired a lawyer and got on a plane to Los Angeles over $67.You're going to take someone to court over that.Same idea.You'll see the trivial part as we pick up in verse 2.It says, "Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world?And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?Do you not know that we are to judge angels?How much more than matters pertaining to this life?So, if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church?I say this to your shame.Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers?We'll pause there for a moment.Paul is saying we should be able to resolve these disputes internally.He's saying we are called to judge.If that sounds familiar, we saw it in 1 Corinthians 5,where verse 12 says, "For what have I to do with judging outsiders?Is it not those inside the church who you are to judge?"Not judging motives, because we can't see the heart,but we are required to judge actions.We judge the fruit.Now, what does Paul mean with this "saints" meaning believers?What does he mean with this "judging the world and angels" business?Well, he's referring to the concept of the children of God reigning with Jesus Christ in his victory.True.But we're not even going to get into all that, because Paul is using it for irony.Like, "Oh, you who will judge the world, you who will judge angels,why are you taking all your disputes to small claims court?"That's what they were doing.And actually, it was even worse than that.Because history tells us that in Paul's day, civil courts were completely corrupt.You couldn't even bring a case against someone who had a higher social standing than you.And when a case did make it to the courts, judges and juries would expect a kickbackfor a verdict in your favor,either a payment or something to help them with their standing.So the church in Corinth was not only suing each other,they were using the legal system to abuse or shake down fellow Christians of lower status.It's childish.And parents know you train young children to resolve their disputes themselves,but it takes a lot of training.Use your words.Talk it out.How would you feel if she said that to you?But until they mature, what's most often the outcome?Running to mom or dad to make a ruling.And sure, parents do need to step in sometimes,but more often than not, it's a dispute that could have been resolvedwith a conversation and some humility.But they're kids.They don't have the required patience or wisdom just yet.Paul is saying the church should be mature enough to use wisdom to resolve things internallyinstead of using lawsuits.But even if we avoid the courthouse, we can still struggle with disputes as a church.If a church member offends you intentionally or unintentionally,you don't sue them, but how do you react?Do you let it go?Or if it's just too much to let it go, do you talk to them about it?Or do you just avoid them?Or how many churches have gone through gigantic disputes over decisions like the carpet coloror chairs versus pews or the volume level during worship?Is stuff like that worth disunity with your brothers and sisters?Now, 1 Corinthians 6 doesn't outline practical steps that we should follow instead,but we know them from other places in Scripture.Matthew 18, for example, tells us to go first to the person directly,and if they don't listen, bring some others.And if they still don't listen, bring it before the church.That's the general path things should run,and some situations point us to other Scripture too.But the charge in these verses is to judge wisely.But these Matthew 18 conversations or conversations going to someone for counsel,they cannot be about gossip.That's just as destructive as a lawsuit.These conversations must be done with one goal in mind, reconciliation.As believers, we ask for forgiveness and forgive each other in order to be reconciled.That's who we are. That's what God's family does.By His grace, some of us grew up in God-fearing homes that demonstrated that's how a family works.But many of us either grew up in or we've seen family situations where that's not the case,where there is no repentance, no forgiveness, no reconciliation.Some might think, "Yeah, I've seen bitterness and I've seen grudges in a family,but reconciliation, forgiving one another, I've never seen a family like that."And that's why as a church, we must show the world that in Christ we are different.We have to show them what God's family is like, which is why, number two on your outline,in a church dispute, remember your relationship, number two, to the world we represent.So as believers, what does our relationship to the world have to do with our disputes?Well, rewind to the end of verse five.It says, "Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers,but brother goes to law against brother?" And that before unbelievers?Before unbelievers. That's similar to what we saw back in verse one, before the unrighteous.We talked about the Corinthians lacking godly wisdom, but there's another problem.Taking all these disputes out into the world, what does that do to our witness?If the city of Corinth always saw the church in scandal or suing each other,what did that communicate to them about the gospel message?We have to remember that part of our relationship to the world is that Jesus called us to represent him to the world.Represent Jesus to the world.Now, listen, I'm not saying we should be concerned about image in the sense that we are marketing church,and reality is another thing.No, our concern is authentically following Jesus.We want people to see what it looks like to be transformed by Christ and living in a Christ-centered community.It's not about projecting some image, it's about our identity.Our witness is being like Jesus and telling people about him.So, infighting, legal battles, manipulation, that's what everybody else does.God's people are called to be different.If we act like the world, we've already lost.Just like it says in verse 7, it says, "To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you."Why not rather suffer wrong?Why not rather be defrauded?But you yourselves wrong and defraud, even your own brothers.Now, again, let me emphasize that we are not talking about criminal cases.But Paul is saying it would be better to just lose your money in the dispute than sue your church brother over these petty issues.Or again, maybe you're not actually going to court, but you still might need to suffer wrong.What do I mean?Have you ever been in a dispute where maybe you're 10% wrong and the other person is 90% wrong?Sometimes we still want to justify ourselves and bang the table about how less wrong we were.What about humbling yourself?What about taking the hit and saying, "You know, you're right. I was wrong. Will you please forgive me?"Our natural reaction is, "Why should I humble myself when they're wrong too?"Because of who we represent.Jesus is our example of humility, and we are that example to those around us.So to claim Christ and act like Paul describes here is a failure in our job as representatives.And you know, I talked a little bit about pizza earlier, but do you know what else I like?Frozen bananas.Well, I should be specific. Chocolate covered frozen bananas. Delicious.One time I went into an ice cream shop where I had gotten one before, but I didn't see any in the case in the front.So I thought, "Oh, they might have some in the back in the freezer."So I asked the woman working, "Do you have any frozen bananas?"And my friends who were there still quote her answer to me because she said, "Does it look like we have any frozen bananas?"Okay. I said, "Thank you." And I walked out without any dessert.Now, do you think the owner of the ice cream shop felt like she represented the store well that day?No. Just like employees represent their workplace as a body of believers, we represent Christ.If you claim Christ, you are his representative, period.In a world where everyone's flying off the handle at every disagreement, screaming or storming out of every issue,imagine the witness of a church that works through things together in love,using the highest authority of our life, God's word, to untangle the issue.No, it's not always easy. But the world will look and say, "What's going on over there? I want to be a part of that."But we have to step back and review for a moment because I don't want anyone to walk away with the wrong idea.So far, we've talked about resolving disputes in-house, not dragging disagreements to the court, and how we are presenting ourselves to the world.Those concepts could be sinfully twisted into an excuse to cover up sin.Now, we don't need to review all the sickening things that have been covered up by churches all over the world.Sinful men have tried to hide their sin, tried to hide abuse by saying things like, "Let's keep this in-house."No, they are wrong.This passage is not about covering things up or ignoring sin. Abuse in court or otherwise is sin.Covering up sin is sin. A forced reconciliation is a false reconciliation.Ignoring sin for the sake of the church's witness is a false witness.If someone's sinful act is a criminal act, then the correct response is to hand them over to the authorities.And that's God's idea, not mine. See Romans 13.I just want to be crystal clear.Paul, just like in chapter 5, is calling for the opposite of a cover up.He's calling us to recognize and remove flagrant, unrepentant sin.And that distinction is important because we all sin.It's not like, "Oh, I was coveting my friend's car yesterday."And last week, I had a lustful thought.Guess I have to leave Harvest Bible Chapel.No, of course all of us struggle with sin, but we commit that as a family,we're here to walk with each other in becoming purified by our Lord.We need each other's support and encouragement as each one of us turns away from our sin daily to become more like Jesus Christ.In fact, in him, we must renounce any relationship that we have to sin.Point number three on your outline today.In a church dispute, remember your relationship number three to sin.We renounce.Let's pick up in verse nine.It says, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?Do not be deceived.Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves,nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers,will inherit the kingdom of God."Now, reading this after the previous section can seem jarring.Paul is talking about disputes, the courts,and then he drops into this list of sins for which someone will not enter heaven.Now, understand that Paul is talking about a lifestyle of unrepentant, continual sin.Committing one of these sins or any sin in isolationdoes not automatically banish a person from heavenif that person repents of their sin and believes in the work of Jesus for their forgiveness.But why does the connection here to verses one to eight?Well, two things.First, verse one asked if believers dare take their case before the unrighteous.And then here it says, "Do you not know that the unrighteouswill inherit the kingdom of God?"Sorry, the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God.Paul is saying, "Church, you should resolve your disputesinstead of bringing them before people who are living in reckless sin for them to decide."You're like, "Don't worry, I keep beef out of the legal system."Okay, well, do you bring your church disputes before unbelieving friends or family?Do you complain about the church or people in the church at work or on social media?That is bringing your case before the unrighteous for them to judge.Now, as for the second connection, recall the underhanded dealings of these civil courts.People in the church were using their influence and status to manipulate other Christians via lawsuitsto take advantage of their own brothers for their gain.That sin belongs in this list, too.See, this isn't a random list of sinfulness.This list is about not being content and reaching out of bounds to get more.And really, that goes all the way back to the first sin, doesn't it?Back in Genesis, God told Adam,"And the Lord God commanded the man saying, 'You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat,for in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die.'"But Adam and Eve ultimately were not content with that.And so they reached outside the bounds that God created.That's the same root as every sin in this list.God says that sexual intimacy is between one man and one woman within the covenant of marriage.But people say, "I'm not content with that."Be it adultery, homosexuality, or any form of sexual immorality,instead of receiving God's gift as he intended,they reached outside God's design to take something else, or idolatry.God says we should worship Him and only Him.But people say, "I'm not content with that."They worship money, success, celebrity.They reach outside of what they know in their heart to worship anything but God.What about drunkards or revilers, people who abuse alcohol or verbally abuse others?God set a boundary around drunkenness and a boundary on our speech,but they say, "I'm not content with that.I will drink how I want and I'll say what I want."Or thieves, the greedy, swindlers, whatever they have, they say, "I'm not content with that.I want more and I'm willing to reach out and take it, even if it means stealing from my own family."And that's where the Corinthian church was, reaching out of bounds to take from their brothers and sisters.Paul says their sin is the same as these.And if you live a life of unrepentant, habitual sin, a life reaching out of bounds,you will not inherit the kingdom of God.So church, we have to ask ourselves, what should our relationship be to sin?Titus chapter 2 verse 11 says, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age."We must renounce sin.That's our relationship, not embracing it, not excusing it, but rejecting it, turning away, running away.How do we do that?Well, praise the Lord, we are about to read some of the most incredible words in Scripture on that topic.Our last point today, you must remember your relationship, number four, to Jesus Christ.We are renewed.1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 11, it says, "And such were some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified,you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.And such were some of you."Some translations say, "And this is what some of you used to be."Paul is saying, "You used to do these things, but God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take the punishment for your sin upon Himself."He bore that sin in His death on the cross and then conquering death rose again in victory.And this verse applies to anyone who will repent and believe in Him as their Savior.Now, you might think that stuff that you used to do is too much to overcome.You're afraid Jesus knows who you were.Well, Jesus knows your whole story and He still invites you into a relationship with Him.He wants to release you from your sin and bring you true contentment.So repent and believe.As it says here, "If you believe, you were washed clean.Sin from your past, present, and future has been washed away in the name of Jesus."You were sanctified, meaning you were set apart as holy and you are being made holy.God is shaping you into what He already calls you.And you were justified, meaning the charges of sin against you have been dropped.You're innocent.That lifestyle of unrepentant sin, that's who you used to be.You are made new.In a dispute, you must remember your relationship with Jesus Christ because that relationship determines all other relationships.But some might think, "If I have that relationship with Christ and if I'm made new, why do I still sin?Why do we still have disputes and disagreements and fights?"I read one scholar put it this way.Imagine, I know this is going to be hard to believe, that you were caught in a snowstorm.It shouldn't be too hard.You're covered in snow, totally freezing, and you feel like you might not make it.But somehow, you crawl and you make it back to your house and you get inside.The room is warm.Maybe fireplace is going.You're saved.But even though you're safe standing in the warmth,it's going to take some time for the ice in your pockets to thaw out.You see the picture.You are secure in Christ, but not all of your sin has melted away yet.That won't be totally complete until we reach heaven.Until then, through our relationship with Christ, we are safe indoors being justifiedand we're thawing out being sanctified at the same time.So as we close, I hope you see how and why the church must deal with disputes in a godly way.We should be able to handle that stuff through Jesus.Next time you're in a dispute, step back and remember, this is my brother or sister in Christ.My goal is to be reconciled with them.Remember that we are representing Christ to the world.The way that we interact should reflect our Lord, showing the world that Jesus works.Remember that we've renounced sin and we lovingly help each other do that.We don't manipulate others.We don't reach out of bounds grabbing for more.That's not who we are.Because who are we?Remember that in Jesus, we are a people renewed.We don't serve sin or our selfish desires anymore.Together, unified and purified, we serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.Let's pray together.Lord God, I thank you for your word.God, I thank you for the church.And I pray God that when we face disputes, we would face them with godly wisdom and character, love and patience, God,that we may be reconciled, that we may be a light into the world around us.We pray and ask for your mercy, God, upon us now and we ask for you to guide us in these matters.Let us be a church unified and purified for your glory, Lord God.In Jesus' name, amen.Amen.

On today's episode, Travis and Eric break down some of the most common “popular” pieces of advice in entrepreneurship and personal development—and why blindly following them can keep you broke and stuck. Through stories, examples, and a lot of banter, they unpack how to actually think about risk, focus, multiple income streams, and the balance between working smart and working hard in 2026's economic reality. On this episode we talk about: *  Why “just quit your job and follow your dreams” can be both powerful and dangerous depending on your life situation*  The truth about “multiple streams of income” and why you should usually master one thing first*  Why “work smarter, not harder” is incomplete—and how combining both is where real money is made*  How simple, boring advice (like calorie deficits and cold calls) still beats sexy hacks and magic bullets*  Why there is never just “one way” to succeed, despite what many gurus preach from the stage Top 3 Takeaways 1.  Pursuing your dream is worth it—but timing, responsibilities, and cash flow matter; the path looks very different at 21 with no obligations than at 44 with a family and a mortgage.2.  Most wealthy people have multiple income streams, but they usually earn that diversification by going all-in on one vehicle first, then expanding within their lane.3.  Success is almost always a mix of working smart and hard, consistently doing the unsexy, high-ROI activities (like cold calling or outreach) that everyone else avoids. Notable Quotes *  “Putting off your dreams for the sake of safety and security can end up being the biggest risk you take.”*  “You have to earn the right not to do the things you don't like to do.”*  “It's always the most boring, simple advice that actually works—and that's exactly why most people ignore it.” Connect with Travis: *  Travis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell*  Travis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell*  Podcast: Travis Makes Money on all major platforms - leave a review and we'll love you forever!  Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.  Capture leads, nurture them, and close more deals—all from one powerful platform.  Get an extended free trial at gohighlevel.com/travis Learn more about your ad choices.

1. Claimed Greenland/Arctic Framework Deal President Trump announced a framework for a future agreement involving Greenland and the broader Arctic region, reached through discussions with NATO leadership and U.S. allies. This is not a military action or invasion, but a diplomatic and security-oriented arrangement still under development. The deal is framed as long‑term (“forever”), contrasting it with past time‑limited international agreements. 2. Focus on Arctic Security and Strategic Competition The core justification presented is national and allied security, particularly limiting Russian and Chinese influence in the Arctic. China’s has a stated interest in Arctic dominance and the deal is preemptive containment. Greenland is described as strategically important due to geography, security positioning, and mineral resources. 3. Denial of Military Intent A central theme is the explicit rejection of military force as a means of acquiring Greenland. Claims of potential invasion were misinformation spread by media and political opponents. Trump is quoted as saying military action would not be necessary. 4. Use of Economic Leverage (Tariffs) Trump used tariff threats against European allies as negotiating leverage. The subsequent removal of tariff threats is evidence that diplomacy succeeded. This approach is intentional pressure rather than economic aggression. 5. Rejection of Media and Democratic Narratives Predicting war or invasion Mischaracterizing Trump’s intentions Ignoring diplomatic outcomes 6. Introduction of a “Board of Peace” Concept Separate from Greenland, the document introduces Trump’s idea to create a “Board of Peace”. This proposed body is an alternative or supplement to the United Nations, which is ineffective. 7.

In today's world we don't have to seek out information—it's constantly thrown at us through all of our devices. This means we are exposed to a relentless stream of information that's not always accurate, hijacking our attention capacity. The solution? Critical ignoring—something that researchers say is now a critical component of our critical thinking ability. If there's one skill you develop this year, this is it. In today's episode, we explain what critical ignoring is and three ways to start doing it.    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37994317/ Thank you for listening to The Happy Eating Podcast.

You can list your weaknesses on demand. But when someone asks, "What's your unfair advantage?" — you freeze. That hesitation? That's the real problem. Welcome, Pivoter. In this episode of PivotMe, April challenges one of the most common and costly habits high performers have: obsessing over gaps instead of leveraging strengths. Most people can tell you exactly where they fall short — where the market is crowded, where they're behind, why it's harder for them than everyone else. But ask them to name their unfair advantage, and everything stops. This episode reframes what an unfair advantage actually is, why everyone has one, and how ignoring yours keeps you stuck playing someone else's game instead of winning your own. Key Takeaways Why we fixate on what we lack Focusing on shortcomings feels safer. It gives us a reasonable excuse for mediocre results — but it also keeps us from pushing again. What an unfair advantage really is It's not cheating. It's not luck. Your unfair advantage is anything that makes progress easier for you than it would be for someone else. Unfair advantages don't have to be flashy They might be traits, skills, experiences, timing, or perspective. They just have to be true. Examples of unfair advantages Pattern recognition Communication skills Emotional intelligence Experience watching businesses succeed and fail Early exposure to trends or industries April models her own advantages From bridging generations to disciplined execution and deep internal work, April demonstrates how knowing what you can lean on creates clarity and momentum. Why this matters in business Your unfair advantage tells you: What lane to stay in What problems you solve best What you should stop competing on Why this matters in life Resilience, adaptability, and emotional awareness are advantages — especially if you've survived things others couldn't. The Challenge Write this sentence and finish it honestly: "My unfair advantage is…" Not what sounds impressive. Not what you wish it was. What's actually true. Then ask: How can I use this more intentionally in my business? How can I lean on this more fully in my life? Stop trying to win someone else's game. Win yours. You don't need to fix everything you're bad at. You need to stop ignoring what you're already good at. Your unfair advantage isn't hiding. You've just been apologizing for it instead of using it. Keep pivoting forward, Pivoter. Want help identifying and leveraging your unfair advantage?

Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.Markets have been absolutely wild lately. One day we are down hard, the next day we are ripping higher. If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. This kind of volatility is where most traders get shaken out, not because they lack information, but because they keep making the same mistakes over and over again. This video walks straight into those mistakes, calls them out, and explains why consistency in the market has a lot less to do with prediction and a lot more to do with discipline, execution, and risk control.If you have ever said things like “it should come back,” “I'll just give it a little more room,” or “I don't want to sell now because it might bounce,” this one is going to hit close to home. These habits feel normal, but normal behavior in markets usually leads to very average results. And average results in trading usually mean frustration.A big theme here is the difference between thinking like a money-first trader versus a risk-first trader. Most people obsess over how much they might make on a trade. Professional traders obsess over how much they can lose and whether that loss fits inside a clearly defined plan. When risk is handled correctly, the money tends to show up over time without forcing it.There is also a deep dive into why buying the dip can be far more dangerous than it sounds. No one knows how far a stock can fall. Strong trends, on the other hand, often last much longer than people expect. Buying strength, respecting exits, and letting winners run is uncomfortable, but that discomfort is often where consistency lives.Here are some of the biggest mistakes covered in the video, and odds are you will recognize at least one of them:✅ Holding losing trades and hoping they recover✅ Cutting winning trades too early✅ Moving stops instead of honoring them✅ Averaging down without a real risk plan✅ Trading based on emotion instead of executionAnother powerful idea discussed is treating every trade as a completely separate event. Your last win does not guarantee another win. Your last loss does not doom the next trade. When traders drag emotions from past trades into new ones, decision making breaks down fast.The video also explains why understanding overall market direction matters so much. Using objective tools like moving averages removes a lot of guesswork. You may not know how far or how long a move will last, but you can know whether the market is trending up or down. Ignoring that information is how traders get trapped for years.The reality is simple but uncomfortable. Most people struggle in markets not because they are unintelligent, but because they cannot consistently follow a plan. An edge without execution does nothing. Execution without emotional control falls apart quickly.If you want to stop repeating the same mistakes, stop guessing, and start trading with clarity, structure, and confidence, this breakdown will challenge how you think about risk, discipline, and what it actually takes to be consistent. That mindset shift is exactly where OVTLYR separates itself from the crowd.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

In this episode of the Acting Business Bootcamp Podcast, I sit down with James Robbins to talk about listening to your inner voice, building resilience, and what happens when you stop ignoring the signals that something needs to change. James shares stories from his life as a climber and leadership coach, including what he's learned from climbing mountains, facing fear, and doing hard things repeatedly. We talk about burnout, discernment, anxiety, and how these lessons apply directly to actors navigating uncertainty in their careers. This episode is about courage, self-trust, and staying engaged in your acting career even when the path forward feels uncomfortable or unclear. About James James Robbins is an international keynote speaker, leadership advisor, and author of Nine Minutes on Monday and The Call to Climb. He helps people uncover purpose, build resilience, and lead with clarity and heart. His work has inspired leaders and teams around the world, blending storytelling with practical strategies for growth. Don't Ignore Your Appointment With Your Soul James shared a phrase in this conversation that stayed with me: most of us ignore our appointment with our soul. He talked about how this often shows up when everything looks fine on the outside, but internally something feels off. You might have stability, validation, or a life that makes sense to other people, yet still feel restless or disengaged. Ignoring that inner voice does not make it disappear. Over time, it usually leads to exhaustion or burnout. That deadness is often the signal, not the problem. Doing Hard Things Repeatedly Makes You Wiser A major theme of this episode is the value of doing hard things on purpose. James described climbing at high altitude and how mountains wear you down mentally before they wear you down physically. Your mind wants to quit long before your body actually needs to. The more experience you have doing hard things, the better your judgment becomes. You develop discernment. You learn when to keep going and when turning back is actually the wiser choice. This applies directly to acting. Staying in the work long enough builds perspective. You stop reacting to fear and start responding from experience. The Mind Quits Before the Body One of the most powerful lessons James shared is that the mind gives up before the body does. On the mountain, this is obvious. In acting careers, it's quieter. It shows up as procrastination, self-doubt, or the story that nothing is happening. Learning to recognize when fear is mental rather than physical allows you to keep moving forward without forcing yourself into burnout. Creating Your Own Weather James talked about the idea of creating your own weather, choosing an elevated emotional state instead of reacting to circumstances. Rather than letting fear, stress, or frustration dictate your day, you learn to orient toward peace, purpose, confidence, and clarity. That internal state changes how you make decisions and how you show up to your work. For actors, this means grounding yourself internally before auditions, self-tapes, and long stretches of waiting. Facing What You Really Want A recurring theme in this episode is how difficult it is for people to answer the question, what do you really want? Often, it's not confusion. It's fear. Wanting something fully means risking judgment, failure, or change. Ignoring that question keeps you stuck in noise. Slowing down enough to listen gives you direction. James Robbins and Call to Climb James's experiences inspired his book Call to Climb, a fable about answering the deeper call in your life when you've been avoiding it. We've included links in the show notes if you want to learn more about his work or pick up a copy of the book. Time Management and Alignment This episode connects closely with the work I do in my time management workshop. We talk about how burnout often comes from misalignment. When your days don't reflect what you actually want, frustration builds.

In this deeply honest and reflective conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe welcomes back Krisstina Wise for a very different kind of discussion from their previous appearance. Instead of focusing on wins and strategies, they explore the realities most people avoid, including loss, intuition, risk, shame, resilience, and what it actually takes to stay in the game long term. This episode is candid and unfiltered and includes occasional strong language as part of an authentic conversation about real-life experiences.   Krisstina opens up about a brutal year that included near–seven-figure risk, broken trust, and the emotional toll of not listening to her intuition. Together, she and Felecia examine why every form of wealth-building involves risk, why even experienced investors make painful mistakes, and how transparency and community often become the true path to recovery. The conversation also looks forward, touching on redefining success, blending intuition with strategy, and stepping into a more sustainable, aligned way of building both wealth and life.   00:00 – Why We Need to Talk About the Hard Parts 07:30 – Krisstina's Real Estate Journey and Twin-Engine Wealth 16:45 – Risk Is Not Optional in Wealth Building 26:15 – When Trust Breaks and Everything Is on the Line 38:00 – Intuition, Self-Trust, and Hard Lessons 47:20 – Redefining Success, Power, and the Next Chapter

Episode Summary: In this episode, Ed sits down with Tom Wallace of Kopplin, Kuebler & Wallace to unpack why governance often breaks down during leadership transitions at private clubs. Drawing from his experience facilitating hundreds of board retreats, Tom shares a clear benchmark: only about 25% of clubs have governance truly dialed in. The conversation explores stewardship versus short-term decision-making, the importance of structure over personality, and how written systems, succession planning, and member communication protect a club's mission, vision, and values. It's a grounded, practical discussion on how strong governance is built intentionally and sustained over time. Key Moments: Why only a quarter of clubs are truly prepared Tom explains how clubs tend to fall into three groups: those with governance fully structured, those actively working toward it, and those stuck in a cycle of dysfunction where each new president resets priorities. Stewardship over "leaving a mark" The conversation highlights how strong presidents think like stewards, focused on long-term health rather than personal projects or visible wins during their term. A leadership lesson from Arnold Palmer Tom shares a story from his time at Oakmont that shaped his philosophy on leadership: clubs existed long before any one leader and will continue long after, making long-term thinking essential. When governance goes wrong, it shows up physically An example of a clubhouse filled with rooms named after past presidents illustrates what happens when guardrails are missing and decisions are made in isolation. The intersection of member culture and staff culture Tom explains that the strongest clubs are built where member culture and team culture align, and why governance plays a critical role in keeping those cultures connected. Early warning signs of governance drift Ignoring data, lacking a strategic plan, or focusing on short-term issues are all indicators that governance may be quietly eroding before problems surface publicly. Why structure protects everyone From strategic business plans to board policy manuals and orientations, Tom outlines the written systems that stabilize clubs through leadership transitions. "If it's not written down, it doesn't exist" A Ritz-Carlton principle reinforces why documentation and clarity are essential, not bureaucratic, in complex organizations like private clubs. Governance as guardrails, not handcuffs Tom compares good governance to bumper bowling: it doesn't guarantee perfect outcomes, but it prevents leaders from sending the club off course. How to spot a strategic board What boards talk about matters. Strategy, capital planning, and long-term direction signal health; operational minutiae signal trouble. Succession planning as a leadership responsibility Strong clubs know who their future presidents are well before transitions happen, creating continuity rather than disruption. Committees as the leadership pipeline Tom explains why committees should serve as the proving ground for future board members, with performance and collaboration guiding recruitment. Younger members and the owner mindset The episode explores how clubs must intentionally teach stewardship and volunteer expectations during member onboarding to avoid transactional relationships. Why board retreats accelerate alignment Tom closes by sharing how retreats create self-awareness, clarity, and a realistic multi-year roadmap, reinforcing that good governance is a process, not a one-time fix.

In this episode, we are pulling back the curtain on the wedding industry and share the real conversations that usually only happen behind the scenes. From unhinged client requests and early-career mistakes to red flags, pet peeves, and the boundaries that actually protect your creativity and your income, this episode is equal parts honest, educational, and entertaining.We've both been there. Saying yes when we should've said no. Offering things that sounded great on paper but burned us out in real life. Ignoring our gut because we wanted the booking. Over time, those decisions taught us powerful lessons about pricing, positioning, professionalism, and staying in our own lane as creative business owners. This conversation dives into what we've learned after nearly two decades in the wedding industry, why “more” isn't always better, and how clarity in your brand, boundaries, and communication changes everything.If you've ever felt frustrated on a wedding day, unsure how to handle client expectations, overwhelmed by industry advice, or conflicted about how to grow without losing yourself creatively, this episode is for you. We're talking about what actually moves the needle, what advice we disagree with, and how to build a business that feels aligned, profitable, and sustainable long-term.Sometimes growth doesn't come from doing more.It comes from doing things differently.Listen in, laugh with us, and take what resonates as you continue building a business you're proud of.Timestamps:00:00 - 06:15 | Catching Up & Life Updates: Personal Stories, Family, and Industry Context06:16 - 14:00 | Unhinged Client Requests & Early-Career Lessons Learned14:01 - 20:30 | Red Flags, Boundaries, and Professional Standards with Clients & Teams20:31 - 28:30 | Industry Hot Takes: Pricing, Automation, Branding, and Staying in Your Lane28:31 - 36:30 | Wedding Day Pet Peeves: Collaboration Breakdowns & Content Overload36:31 - 40:27 | Final Reflections: Industry Culture, Professional Respect & Listener EngagementThe next round of The Luxury Mastermind will start in Spring 2026!

In this episode of the Replant & Revitalize Podcast, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss a sobering trend impacting many churches today: the growing number of senior adults leaving the local church. This conversation is based on Thom Rainer's article, “The Silent Exodus of Senior Adults,” and it explores both the causes and the consequences of this shift. As churches focus on reaching younger generations, many senior adults feel overlooked, disconnected, or unable to fully participate. This episode helps pastors and church leaders better understand the challenges aging church members face—and why retaining and caring for senior adults is essential to healthy church revitalization. Key Reasons Senior Adults are Leaving Churches Since 2000, church attendance among adults age 65 and older has declined by approximately 15% Physical limitations such as mobility challenges, hearing loss, and vision issues make attending church more difficult The emotional impact of losing peers and longtime friends within the congregation Shifting church priorities that emphasize young families and children, often at the expense of senior adult ministry When senior adults leave, churches lose valuable financial support, institutional wisdom, and volunteer leadership This episode challenges church leaders to consider how their ministry strategies, worship services, facilities, and programming communicate value—or neglect—to older members of the congregation. Why This Matters for Church Replanting and Revitalization Senior adults often carry deep spiritual maturity, faithfulness, and commitment to the local church. Ignoring their needs can weaken a church's health, mission, and sustainability. This conversation equips leaders to rethink engagement, accessibility, and discipleship for aging members.

So this is on top of money—it’s not instead of money. That’s really important. The four quadrants are: Health, Pursuits, People, and Places. If you’re not in good health, nothing else matters. But pursuits—the things that give you a sense of purpose in your life—that’s critically important. And here’s the key: you need a portfolio of them, not just one or two. Because you can always lose one or two. If your pursuit is playing tennis, you might not be able to play tennis anymore. If it’s work, it might disappear. So people should try to do a few things, see what they like, zero in on it, but not be limited to one thing.” On The Reboot, Rewire, Retire Concept “Rather than saying ‘Okay, I’m done with work, I’m going to play golf all the time,’ Reboot is thinking about this life portfolio. What can I do that brings value to my life? We went around the table asking what people were most concerned about regarding retirement. The biggest issue wasn’t money, wasn’t health, wasn’t caregiving—it was ‘who am I going to be when I’m not who I was anymore?’ That was a real wake-up. Rewire is getting ready—building new skills, keeping up your contacts, maintaining your skills. Those are critical things.” On Preparing for Phased Retirement “The preparation you should do is not when you’re ready for phased retirement—it should be way before that. Think about career planning where you’re always focusing on how you’re creating value. You need to have ways of creating value. If you have a good relationship with your employer, you can work something out. I was probably the most published and well-known retirement person in my firm at Mercer. You need credibility. Learn to use their words, not ours—if I’m talking actuarialese to my client, they’re like ‘what?’ But if I’ve translated that to their language, it’s a lot better.” On Identifying Where You Add Value “I think the big benefit for employees is that they have much more satisfying lives. There are also a lot of people who they get near what like the traditional retirement ages and they want to spend more time with their grandchildren. They want to take more vacations. They want to pursue a hobby, but they don’t just want to say, my work life is over. And it gives them a variety of options. So I think there’s a lot of benefit. It’s really a way of this gradually changing pursuits. And it may involve money and it might not involve making more money. But it does involve value. Now there can be, and we had a Society of Actuaries essay on employees and both, we’ve discussed the value a number of times. We’ve also discussed the routes to phased retirement because it’s not an easy deal that just automatically happens. Not usually. For employers, it’s a different thing. Depending on the kind of employer and the kind of job that people have, it lets them keep value that people have contributed. And what I want to say is that if we look at employees, and of course it varies by type of employment, there’s firm-specific human capital and there’s general human capital. And for example, if you were a currency trader, you could probably move into one job to another in two minutes. But Joe, you were a human resource director, and you had years and years of history, a lot of firm-specific human capital. What we have not done a good job of, and this is a speech I’ve been making for 25 years, probably maybe 30, is identifying what are the things that you contribute, that you really contribute value. It might be that 10% or 20% of your job, you’re doing something where you’re contributing a lot of value. And what I think is really important is for the employee to figure out how they can contribute a lot of value and the employer to figure out, and for them to reach a meeting of the minds.”

In part 4 of our Pre NADA AI Spotlight series, I'm joined by Shaun Sorensen, CEO and Co-Founder of Kenect. We dig into why the biggest untapped profit pool in dealerships isn't sales—it's service—and how AI agents are moving from “assistive tools” to full-on employees. Shaun breaks down inbound vs. outbound AI, the real risks dealers fear, and how data-driven personalization is already driving nine-figure service revenue results.

Welcome to Day 4 of the Drop Five Pounds While Life Is Life-ing Challenge — and today we're tackling one of the most misunderstood parts of weight loss: hunger.So many of us have been taught that hunger is a problem to solve, suppress, or avoid at all costs. But hunger isn't the enemy. Ignoring it, fearing it, or fighting it is what keeps you stuck in overeating, binge–restrict cycles, and food obsession.In this episode, I break down the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger, and why learning to trust your body again is a non-negotiable if you want to lose weight for the last time. We talk about what normal hunger actually feels like, why letting yourself get overly hungry backfires, and how diet culture has trained us to disconnect from our body's signals.You'll also learn how to eat in a way that stabilizes your hunger hormones so you're not white-knuckling your way through the day — and why honoring hunger builds trust with yourself faster than any “discipline” ever could.This episode is about safety. About listening instead of controlling. And about learning that your body is not broken — it's been trying to talk to you this whole time.In this episode, you'll hear:- Why hunger is a normal, neutral signal — not a problem- The difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger- What happens when you ignore hunger for too long- How restriction fuels overeating and food noise- Why trusting your body is a skill (and how to rebuild it)- How balanced eating supports hunger hormones- What to do when hunger shows up earlier than expected- Why honoring hunger actually makes weight loss easierYour homework for today:Throughout the day, pause before you eat and ask: “Am I physically hungry, emotionally hungry, or both?” Eat when you're hungry without judgment, and notice what it feels like to respond with curiosity instead of control. Write down what you observe — no fixing, no shaming.If you want support or coaching, email me at laura@lauraconley.com.And if you're ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience — my six-month group coaching program that guarantees results or your money back.

Happy Regular Guy Friday, Heal Squad. This week, Kev and Anne talk about what happens when duty, guilt, and habit start overriding the signals your body's been sending for years. A reflection on being the reliable one, powering through when something no longer fits, and why so much burnout and illness isn't about food or routines, it's about what we tolerate out of obligation. A look at the full-body no, family roles that keep us frozen in old versions of ourselves, and why choosing yourself can feel selfish before it feels sustainable. A reminder that not every responsibility is yours to carry, not every signal needs explaining, and sometimes growth looks like pulling back instead of pushing through. P.S. there might be a little candy talk for all our candy guy Friday lovers!
